In its action, the Commission approved the West Batiquitos Lagoon/Sammis Properties amendment request with suggested modifications
including ones which required submittal of a trail construction plan,
prohibited gating of certain planning areas, and provided for the eventual implementation and provision of the public trail system. The adopted
suggested modifications are attached for your information.

Before the amendment request can become effectively certified, the Executive
Director must determine that implementation of the approved amendment will be consistent with the Commission's certification order. This is necessary because the amendment request was certified with suggested modifications.
In order for the Executive Director to make this determination, the local government must formally acknowledge receipt of the Commission's resolution of certification, including any terms or suggested modifications; accept and agree to those terms and modifications; and take any formal action which is required to satisfy them, such as rezonings or other ordinance revisions. If the City chooses to accept the Commission's action, this acknowledgement must occur within six months.
As soon as the necessary documentation is received in this office, and accepted, the Executive Director will report his/her determination to the
Commission at its next regularly scheduled public hearing. questions about the Commission's action or this final certification procedure, please contact our office. on this planning effort.
